Edie Falco on Why Her New Role Is Way More Relatable Than Carmela Soprano


Edie Falco exclusively opened up to Us about why she feels more akin to her ‘I’ll Be Right There’ character than the matriarch she played on ‘Sopranos’

Directed by Brendon Walsh with a script by Jim Beggarly, I’ll Be Right There tells the hilarious and heartwarming story of Wanda, a woman finding her place now that her kids are grown, the divorce papers are signed and a new chapter of life is beginning. While Wanda still has her hands full with her sick mother ( Jeannie Berlin), 8-months-pregnant daughter, Sarah ( Kayli Carter), and wayward son, Mark ( Charlie Tahan), she’s also trying to figure out what life is like when she’s putting herself first. The HBO crime drama began in January 1999 with Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) reluctantly walking into the office of his new psychiatrist, Jennifer Melfi (Lorraine Bracco), after having a panic attack.
